fee on Tuesday in company with his

man for the Office of County Clerk
Mr.. Hartman is now filling that office

place
A. H. Pearson has finished plating
all the public highways Of the county
that are legally laid out. There are in
all 100. County Attorney Mckay. act
ing with Dir. Pearson under instruc-
tiOns of the Commissioners, found a
large proportion of the roads supposed
heretofore to be all right, 20 be in fact
irregular and illegal. 1t will stand the
Township Trustees, and in fact every
citizen OF every Township, in hand, to
look into this matter and see if they
have any lawful roads in their locality.
We learn that Mr.. Pearson has done a
very thorough and useful Job of work
in this road business.
One of the most essential things to
be done in constructing a new house, is
to have a good job of plastering done,
If your plastering cracks and falls off.
or IS not put on right your house IS
nearly ruined. d. L. Lawyer, of this
place, is a plasterer whose work will
stand the test. He has been here suf-
iciently long and has done work enough
to settle that question. He plastersd
the Phillips County Bank, the New
School house, and other good buildings
and his work is his best recommend
ton. If any reader of the HERALD re-
siding in or near Phillipsburg cOntem-
plates erecting a building, they will
do well to see Mr.. Lawyer, before con-
tracing for their plastering. He works
for reasonable prices and his work is
first class,
Marcus Watson, who was nominated
by the new party, August 9th, for Reg
Ister of Deeds, is the Post Master at
Long Island. He was nominated on
the strength Of Attorney AIcKay's state
ment that he would endorse the Union
Labor Platform. That platform de-
nOunces the Democratic party violently
and the convention resolved that it
would support no man that did not &C
cept the platform Now that places
post master Watson IN a close place .
He holds an Office under a Democratic
Administration. He is promised a bet
ter Office if he will step out of the Dem
Ocratic party and on to a new platform
which denOunces that party If he
should promptly decline to stand as a
candidate, the case would be slmplified.
If he accepts, and does not resign the
/ post mastership, the administration
may not like to have a post master who
| endorses a platform that assails it so
stoutly, If he should resign to make
/ the race for the county Office, it might
appear he changed his party for an
office What will he do? Verify, Mr..
/ Mckay and the Labor Convention have
/ put post master Watson in close quar-
T tiers.
